Abstract:
An electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery and a lithium secondary battery including the same are provided. The electrolyte includes a non-aqueous organic solvent, lithium salt, and an additive that is either a dicarboxylic acid anhydride and a halogenated ethylene carbonate or a diglycolic acid anhydride and a halogenated ethylene carbonate.
Abstract:
An energy storage device includes positive and negative electrodes; positive and negative lead wires connected to the positive and negative electrodes, respectively; a separator composed of unit fibers and positioned between the positive and negative electrodes to electrically insulate the positive and negative electrodes from each other; a housing accommodating the positive and negative electrodes and the separator; an electrolyte received in the housing; and positive and negative terminals connected to the positive and negative lead wires, respectively, wherein an electrolyte permeability index of the separator is larger than an electrolyte permeability index of the electrodes, and the unit fibers of the separator are arranged irregularly so that pores formed in the separator have cross sections of polygonal shapes. Using this energy storage device, the electrolyte of electrodes that gives a direct influence on electric capacity is not depleted. Also, stress failure of the separator may be prevented effectively.
Abstract:
A lithium ion secondary battery is provided. The lithium ion secondary battery generally comprises an electrode assembly, a container for accommodating the electrode assembly; and an electrolyte. The electrode assembly comprises two electrodes having opposite polarities and a separator. The separator comprises a porous membrane comprising clusters of ceramic particles. The porous membrane is formed by bonding the particle clusters with a binder. Each particle cluster is formed either by sintering or by dissolving and re-crystallizing all or a portion of the ceramic particles. The ceramic particles comprise a ceramic material having a band gap. Each particle cluster may have the shape of a grape bunch or a lamina, and may be formed by laminating scale or flake shaped ceramic particles.
Abstract:
An electrolyte for a lithium battery includes a non-aqueous organic solvent, a lithium salt, and an additive comprising a) a compound represented by the following Formula (1), and b) a compound selected from the group consisting of a sulfone-based compound, a poly(ester)(metha)acrylate, a polymer of poly(ester)(metha)acrylate, and a mixture thereof: wherein R1 is a C1 to C10 alkyl, a C1 to C10 alkoxy, or a C6 to C10 aryl, and preferably a methyl, ethyl, or methoxy, X is a halogen, and m and n are integers ranging from 1 to 5, where m+n is less than or equal to 6.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating an LCD is provided. According to the method, an alignment film is printed and hardened on a first substrate and a second substrate. Subsequently, the alignment film is subject to a primary alignment process and a subsequent secondary alignment process. The primary alignment process includes a rubbing process and the secondary alignment process includes irradiating light on the entire surface of the rubbed alignment film. Finally, retarder LC materials are coated and hardened on the light-irradiated alignment film to form a first compensation film and a second compensation film.
